HARLAND D. HASSAR-D, OF NILE, NEW YORK.

UMBRELLA-HANGER.

Application filed February 2, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARLAND D. T'IASSARD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Nile, in the county of Allegany and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Umbrella-Hanger, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates ers.

The object of the invention is to provide an article of this character,that shall be simple of construction and thus easy and cheap tomanufacture, eflicient and durable in use, yet light in weight, andwhich without imparting an unsightly appearance to an umbrella, may becarried at all times by the tip thereof thus always to. be in positionfor use, and which shall be retained in operative and inoperativepositions solely by the frictional contact between the hanger and thetip.

With the above and other objects in view, as will appear as the natureof the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novelumbrella hange hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and inwhich like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts :-Figure1 is a view in perspective, displaying the manner in which the hanger isemployed in suspending an umbrella. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the blankfrom which the hanger is made. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a hangerafter the same has been formed to shape. Fig. 4 is a perspective view ofthe hanger.

The hanger is constructed from a blank 1 of resilient sheet metal, ofany preferred character, one end of which is rounded and provided withan orifice 2. his blank is bent or rolled to form a split sleeve 3 and aloop l, constituting a suspending member, the crest 5 of which occupiesthe same plane as the proximate portion of the sleeve, whereby when theholder is positioned on the tip T of an umbrella, there will be no toumbrella hang- Specification of "Letters latent.

Serial No. 606,261.

projecting part presented which would be objectionable not only from thestand point of appearance, but also from the liability of its catchingupon garments and the like. The sleeve is designed to fit the tip byfrictional engagement with sufficient tightness to sustain the weight ofan umbrella when the same is suspended by the loop from a support, suchas a nail N, as shown in Fig. l, but the contact between the parts willnot be such as to present objectionable resist ance when the hanger isslipped back upon the tip to expose the ferrule.

It is designed that this hanger shall always be carried by the tip ofthe umbrella, so that it will be ready for use at all times, and owingto the fact that it is made of thin metal, and that it may be colored toagree with that of the tip of the umbrella, it will not present anobjectionable addition to the umbrella from the stand point ofappearance.

The device is exceedingly simple in construction and it will be found tofill a long felt want, inasmuch as an umbrella may readily be suspendedfrom a nail, hook, or projection, and be allowed to drain, thus topreserve the notch and wire from rusting to a large degree.

I claim An umbrella hanger embodying, in a onepiece structure, a splitsleeve and a looped suspension member in axial alinement with the sleeveand arranged to be slipped with the sleeve onto the tip of an umbrellawith the loop encircling the tip, the sleeve being adapted to grip thetip with sufficient frictional tenacity to sustain the weight of theumbrella.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto ailixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
